I've loved reddit for a long long time (I am addicted and visit nearly every day XD! You guys have helped me gain a lot of viewers, so I figured this was fitting.

I'd flirted with the idea of doing an AMA in the past but it's always seemed like a weird thing to me. Recently people have been asking me to do one, and I also got an actual AMA request in this section so WHAT THE HECK HEY!! HUH! Wow.

So yeah, I'll be here answering questions until I GET BORED or until I find out that nobody asked any questions...in which case I will be pretending to answer questions.

<33333333333

EDIT!!!: Thanks for all the questions guys, I have to go record some lines before it gets too late and people will get mad at me for yelling. I will come back later and answer more questions <33333, keep asking EM!

EDIT 2!!!: I'm editing this at 10:14 PST, I see that this reddit has gotten quite a few upvotes O_O. I'll go ahead and start answering questions again in just a bit here SO KEEP ASKING IF YOU WANT :D

You were actually pretty damn good at singing in that video. I could see you being maybe a comedian that incorporates some music ever so often. Now that I think of it, you would be an amazing comedian, regardless of if you incorporated music.

In episode 2F09 when Jaques plays Jon's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I'm curious about this because I've been making videos myself. How are you able to get ad revenue for your videos when they contain licensed video games and music in them? The policy strictly says your video will get taken down if it has that stuff in it.

It's about time my good man. I have been a follower of your work since the infamous and hilarious Daikatana. A couple questions if you will:

Where would you say you gain most of your inspiration from in regards to your 'character' and 'humor'. I can see some similarities to the absurdity of Tim and Eric Awesome show, and other shit from Adult Swim.

I know you're a serious LoL head. Do you have any plans to switch over to Dota 2? Have you at least signed up for the beta?! It's becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Finally, how did you and PBG first get in contact. What maintained the relationship which eventually grew into NormalBoots?

I got a lot of inspiration primarily from the Angry Video Game Nerd, Nostalgia Critic, Screwattack, and Mega64 initially. After that I threw in a little Tim and Eric and Steve Brule. :D

No, I hate Dota 2. I have the Beta and I'm sorry but I just hate everything about it. One of the most user unfriendly games ever. I wish I could combine its great interface and spec mode with LoL, but that's about it.

PBG once messaged me on YouTube when he only had about 3000 subscribers and I had a few hundred. He gave me some advice, and from there we just sort of found out we made great friends. Also great enemies at times XD

I'm not really sure to be honest, just sort of slowly happened. The biggest early break was my Dino City video, it hit number freaking 1 on reddit. AND believe it or not, I loved reddit before that happened XD

Wha-Chow is a podcast done by some dudes that are hilarious internet dudes. Littlekuriboh is a dude who make Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. You are a dude who is doing an AMA and should be my best friend.

In the last episode of Malkovich gaming game show the Randor try to find his dorment body so they can get rid of him once and for all. As the spaceship launches he is actually awakened to fight in the war. But how can he pass through the Randor blockade that was set up in Mars? They have enough firepower that can completly shred his spaceship. Was the plan all along a suicide mission so that the armada of Earth can launch a surprise assault on the Randor's homeplanet?

If you had to give advice to someone thinking about doing a review show themselves ( I mean its not like I need Advice or anything! HA! It is to laugh) what would you recommend? Personal pitfalls you have come out of. ect. ect.
Thanks for your time, and the laughs!

I've been noticing that in your most recent videos, you've been getting more irritated with the games you've been playing. I was just wondering why you insist on reviewing bad games that people probably won't play such as Charlie's Angels for GCN, when you could be playing a game that you do like?

What in the hell is the little piece of music that you played in the older Countdown videos, such as Top 20 SNES games, when counting to the next item? It's always bugged me, because I absolutely loved hearing it.

Have you ever met and hung out with any of the other famous gaming reviewers on youtube? Such as AVGN or hell, even that Irate gamer guy. And who is your influence to start making these hilarious videos?

Hmm, some of the guys I know areeee: Egoraptor, Angry Joe, HuskyStarcraft, Jesse Cox, Dodger (Presshearttocontinue), TheWarpZone, Stuttering Craig, RubberRoss, aaaaaaaaaaaaand I can't think of many more right now XD

Hahaha, oh dear. People refer to my bird as every name under the sun. "Jock", "Jack"!

His name is actually 'JACQUES'. I guess I say it weirdly in the videos XD.

One day I was at Petco, I was checking out the birds (Because I'm a bird person) after my parakeet of 12 years had just died. I saw the then unnamed 'Jacques' squirreling around at the bottom of his cage. Instant love. The moment I saw him I knew he was going home with me :D

My friend and I were talking about doing some videos, so I have a couple questions for you:
What kind of Camera do you use/would reccomend? What editing software do you use and what do you use to capture game footage? Also, any tips? Love the videos, can't wait for more :)

Gonna start out by saying this: Jon, your videos are terrific and I love them so damn much. I don't care when the next one comes out; your videos are so great that, so long as you keep making them, I don't care if it takes you two years to make the next one. If you don't mind, I'd love to ask you a couple of questions that may seem so painfully stupid, but here goes:

What inspired you to begin the JonTron Show and NormalBoots?

I hate to bring up personal things, but I do aspire to create a show like yours. How do you do it, brother?

Is Jacques the only bird you have, or do you have several more you keep off-screen? If so, whyyy?!

Thank you so much for taking the time to even read my questions, and if you get too busy to not answer them, I completely understand. You doing an AMA is enough to make me happy.

Pretty much falling in love with The Angry Video Game Nerd's stuff is one of the primary reasons I was inspired to make this show. I just wanted to make something, get it out there, say what I had to say :D

Jacques is currently the only bird I have, yes

Thanks for understanding that these videos take a great deal of time to make. I'm not going to lie, it stresses me out when people want me to make them SO FAST. I can't do it without a huge drop in quality.

Some of my best experiences have been when I am completely immersed in a legendary game (Like Ocarina of Time or Mass Effect 2), comfortable, a nice sunset breeze flowing through my windows....ahhh....bliss...
